Dedications for Mass Weapons

What follows are some incantations that I developed as adjunct technology for
the Mass. These
verses are dedications of the weapons that would be
recited by the Priest, Priestess, or Deacon, perhaps while touching each weapon
during its dedication with the Book of the Law. Note that the elemental
references in the verses appear reversed; the idea is to temper each weapon with
its opposing element, and thus strengthen it.

Be this consecrated lance
A shaft of light. The Lord who grants His power to our work this day Ensure its strength. I duly pray
That I may bear this sacred rod With all the fitness of a god. May
waters rush to meet its thrust; May it inspire the force of lust. So
may each heart and tongue fulfill The law, that is love under will.

Be this consecrated graal The well of joy beyond the veil.As into
it our woe has rained Let happiness therefrom be drained. The flower
of its brimming cup Of nectar shall be offered up To light the fire
upon the tongueOf God. Now let the song be sung: So may each heart and
tongue fulfillThe law, that is love under will.

Be this consecrated swordThe key of freedom. May the Lord Most
Secret its chill steel imbue With perfect justice, sharp and true.
This weapon wrought for mortal strife May cleave asunder human life
From that more cosmic realm unknown: The World's hidden heart of
stone. So may each heart and tongue fulfill The law, that is love
under will.

Be this consecrated plateThe solar disc: the eye of fate, That
turned to Earth gives life and death-- The life that stirs in every
breath, And in the searing southern ray The fatal end to breathing.
May It come from darkness to the East To bear for us the holy feast.
So may each heart and tongue fulfill The law, that is love under
will.
